Why Italy Is Our Most Popular Destination For Women Over 50
Italy has been part of Women Travel Tribe since our very first tours. Over the years, we have explored Abruzzo, Puglia, the Italian Riviera, the Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, and Sicily — each region offering something completely different. What they all share is incredible food, warm locals, and a pace of life that feels just right for women over 50 who want to slow down and savor every moment.
Our Italy tours go beyond the typical tourist trail. You will eat at family-run restaurants that do not appear in guidebooks, walk through medieval hill towns with local guides, and share long dinners with women who quickly become friends. Whether it is pasta-making in Abruzzo or exploring ancient Greek temples in Sicily, every day brings something memorable.
Many of our members return to Italy year after year, choosing a different region each time. It is the kind of destination that rewards repeat visits — and the kind of experience that is even better when shared with a group of women who understand your pace.

"I just returned from my 2nd Tribe trip to Italy. We had 11 ladies. I have done trips with some of the larger groups but these Tribe trips are just right!"
Cate W.
Italy 2024
"Your host, Fabrizo, will feel like family. I enjoyed this trip so much I did the extended Abruzzo with Sulmona, & Puglia the following year. I felt like I returned home. The food is the best. The group started as strangers but ended as friends. We’re planning other future trips together."
Amanda H.

"Are you on the fence? A little terrified? I was there, too! But I took the plunge and am so glad I did! The location was amazing, but the women are what made the trip exceptional! I laughed until my muscles hurt. I laughed until I cried. Venice, Verona, and Lake Garda in Italy...one of the best experiences of my life!"
Cheryl R.
Italy: Venice, Verona & Lake Garda
"I just returned from the Women Travel Tribe Italian Riviera trip and I relate to everything you said. I wish I could have done both trips and several ladies from the Venice, Verona trip joined the one I was on. It was my first trip with The Travel Tribe and it was a great experience. I enjoyed getting to know all the ladies and Janet Jaffe. Roberta and Daniela were wonderful and our itinerary was fabulous! I am ready for another trip with The Travel Tribe."
Angie F.
Italy: Venice, Verona & Lake Garda
"Well, I have found my tribe, I recently returned from a trip to Italy with "Women Travel Tribe" and I can honestly say that it was fabulous/exciting/funny/beautiful, and oh so very soulful. It was like a hug that would not let you go. My fellow travellers - you gave me a lifetime of amazeball memories to bring a smile to my face and I cannot thank you enough. So ladies, if you are reading this and you have not booked yet, do it! Press that button you will not be disappointed, it will make your heart sing for a very long time , you deserve it and you are worth it."
Lynne I.
Italy: Venice, Verona & Lake Garda
"If consideration is your current mindset, Go For It! Like many, I had never traveled with a group of women before. I recently returned from the Venice/Verona adventure. Honestly, it was beyond any of my expectations! Over-the-top fun, food, new friendships, accommodations, and unique, not-so-touristy adventures. Small group size is perfect for a personalized tour and the time/opportunity to really develop relationships. I’m already shopping for my next adventure!"

"The best trip! Such beautiful scenery and wonderful food and drink. Loved meeting all the ladies."
